The call was put out for the need from several commercial breeders who needed some of their dogs gone, at a cost of course in the middle of the midwest. Of course they always want money for the dogs & of course once we know about them we are not leaving them & do what we have to do to help them. These innocent souls lives was instantly changing in that moment & only for the better. They were one of the very lucky ones. On this day we rescued a total of 3 mini goldendoodles from Missouri. A breeding dad who is Clark Griswald & 2 puppy siblings who were adopted together to the same home. The real healing, love & devotion could begin & show Clark Griswald how he is supposed to be loved & adored in a loving forever home just as they are in their foster home. Clark Griswald & his friends were bought back to the WA state where he is now so happy to be here & can’t wait to find his new loving devoted forever home. When this beautiful boy first arrived he was absolutely terrified of everything & didn’t trust humans at all. Who could blame him? Clark Griswald was so disgusting & filthy with caked on mud & who knows how long he had been in this state & used to breed this way & had puss coming from his penis. We even discovered that is tail was bent & we knew instantly that his tail had been broken at some stage & never was taken care of. But thankfully he had his loving foster siblings to help him feel more comfortable & his foster mum & foster dad worked on helping him to trust humans & his new life & foster home. This boy is now very confident & obsessed with his foster mum. He will be found sometimes just staring at her. He is in love with his foster siblings & will play with anyone who will play with him but then will be off doing his own thing at times. Clark Griswald is the best of both worlds, he will play but then be happy to snuggle up with you. He taught himself to go up & down the hardwood stairs in his foster home. He now knows what toys are but has shown no interest in them. He has been learning to go potty on material potty pads & outside. At first he did not have a clue about anything at all but has picked up things very quickly in his devoted foster home. He absolutely loves his foster siblings & we have tested him with countless breeds of dogs. He is extremely sweet but is very loving & a very cuddly little chap. He really enjoys snuggling with you & we know he adores being picked up & held & carried around to see what is going on. At first he had no idea what it was to be held & loved but now he gets ready to be picked up. He will be uncertain at first in his new home but once he is comfortable that will change. The reality is, the foster homes are his real first experience at being in a home, with a tv, bedding he can snuggle up in, a roof over his head that’s not outside. This boy has now become obsessed with his outfits especially his pajamas & will stand there patiently & wait for his foster mum to put them on him. Clark Griswald is a wonderful eater & we know that he is obsessed with food in his loving foster home with the good nutrition he is getting. He eats a clean diet meaning, raw fruits, vegetables, grains & proteins & is on supplements. He also is obsessed with his treats & loves bully sticks & collagen sticks. His treats are also homemade for him but sometimes will eat bought treats. He adores comfy beds & big comfy blankets because again the reality is, this is something he did not get to experience ever until he was rescued. He currently sleeps with his foster siblings sometimes but prefers to sleep right next to foster mum. He absolutely loves to sleep in the bed with you & be apart of what you are doing. He is such a very innocent soul who just wants to be loved & to make up for his past. He loves everyone & is so very sweet. He is accepting with being bathed & groomed & enjoys the hairdryer. He would still need to be taught to walk on a harness & leash. Clark Griswald rides in the car well & considering the only times we know of was when he went to be sold & when we got him & going home & to & from the vets with us & his loving foster home. But he does well in the car & really enjoys a car ride with his foster mum. We are looking for a crate free home for this little lad only. Clark Griswald as you can imagine spent the first part of his life in a caged environment. We are also looking for a forever home for Clark Griswald where someone is home during the day or he can go with his people wherever possibly he can go with them. When they find someone who treats them as they should be treated & loves them they get so attached to them. Clark Griswald is looking for a forever home who will cherish him & love him as he should be loved & be patient with him & never give up on him. Clark Griswald has been around many breeds of dogs all shapes & sizes in the rescue & he is currently with dogs in his foster home. He will be found snuggled up with his foster siblings. He absolutely must go to a forever home with a dog or dog’s present in the home for him to thrive in. He needs a very playful dog in the home for him to play with. Please do not apply saying your neighbors have a dog or family members or you will take him to places where there are other dogs. That will not work, another dog or dogs is mandatory along with a fully fenced backyard. Clark Griswald is roughly 18.4 lbs & he is 3 years old & supposed to be a mini goldendoodle. He has put on a lot of weight since being in the rescue in his loving foster home. What he is mixed with we are not sure. Male, he will be neutered by laser, had a dental scale & polish alone with dental x-rays. He is microchipped, up to date on his shots, including DHPP, rabies bordatella & dewormed. Clark Griswald’s tail had been broken with the breeder & unfortunately it was never treated so it healed with a kink in it. We have spent far more on Clark Griswald with paying for him from a commercial breeder. Bringing him to WA with his travel costs, his transportation to WA. All of his medical care in WA & Omaha etc & bringing her to WA then his adoption fee comes close to covering. Clark Griswald has not been around cats since being in the rescue, but it’s always up to the new family to be responsible with their animals together & we have had him around small children & he adores them but we do do not recommend small children nor cats though & it’s always up to the family to be responsible with their children & cats. We were not there when Clark Griswald was conceived so we do not know who his parents were & it’s always up to the new potential family to look at the pictures & decide what they think his breed is. As with all of our rescues & Clark Griswald’s friends & siblings he will need work on potty training & training, so this should be something the new family would be willing to work on & commit to. Please do not submit an application if you are not willing to commit to one of our rescues care for their whole life & that includes if they need training. Please do not email us asking is Clark Griswald potty trained or available, nor do we ship dogs anywhere as we will not respond. We would never say anyone of our rescues are potty trained. Our rescues need homes where the people are understanding of their past & what they have been through & what they will need in their daily lives & not willing to give up on them & if they do need training in their new home will in fact take them to training & not just say they will when applying. Please only submit an application if you are truly interested in adopting Clark Griswald & going through our process and have read his listing fully to the end & are wanting to adopt. If you are not responsive to our calls, emails or your references do not respond we will move on. Or you waste this rescues time, will remove your application from our system. You must be willing to go through our screening process which includes your references being checked, a phone interview & a virtual home visit via WebEx or Zoom due to covid & followed by a meet & greet & if it’s a good fit, up to our discretion. We will only be accepting applications for Clark Griswald who understands his needs & that meet all the requirements for the special sweet little Clark Griswald. Once we find the right home for each little soul we work fast, within days so the dogs can go to their forever homes in quite a timely manner. We do not hold onto dogs for people as our goal is to save lives & please do not submit an application if you are not ready to adopt. We also cannot respond to every application unfortunately. Clark Griswald has an adoption fee of $1250 & is ready for his truly loving forever home & compassion & understanding of what he has been through.

Fofa is 3 years old and about 21 lbs. She has been through training, sleeps in a kennel and she's great with kids. She tries with other dogs but we haven't had many to interact with and the dog park wasn't a great experience for her. She does well with some support. 3 of our kids are allergic to her and recently I've had some mental health issues that have made keeping up on her grooming difficult. Causing everyone's allergies to become a problem. She is a very good dog and we've taken her with us places often so she's good in the car. Although her commands aren't in English she is very smart and it won't be hard to retrain her.

Morty was an oops baby of a Goldendoodle and Blue Heeler. Morty needs to be an only dog. He loves to run. Mortimer has demonstrated some aggressive behavior with my other dog and my daughter’s dog. He has never been aggressive with people, adults or children. He is high energy and great in the car. We have attended obedience classes and he is highly food motivated! He’s a sweet boy and loves to cuddle, he just doesn’t care to share.

The big personality of this so dedicated to life & to be adored & loved girl Miss GuiNiu, ended up in a meat market in Mudanjiang & yes you read that correctly. This beautiful girl ended up in a meat market for human consumption after a breeder had used her & then was rescued from there & ended up in another shelter. What we do know is, she was pulled out of there on deaths door with pneumonia so severe it almost took her beautiful precious life. It’s absolutely soul destroying to think about the horrific situation she ended up in. Working with one of our truly devoted, dedicated & absolutely outstanding Chinese rescuers she rescued GuiNiu & many others for us. Without this beloved rescuer going in & getting GuiNiu out, her fate was death alone just from the pneumonia. She transferred GuiNiu to her own rescue & covid had hit & the waiting began. Along with GuiNiu & many other sweet souls she got well & brought back to health which took a very long time as their immunity was so severely compromised from the condition she had been living in & waited to come to the US. This became a very extremely expensive situation with covid. We were finally able to bring everyone back through cargo which is an astronomical expense per dog, but we believe every sweet soul such as GuiNiu & her & friends deserves to be loved & cherished & given the chance to have a wonderful life. Now GuiNiu is looking for a special family to cherish her & be patient with her & remember what this beautiful soul has been through & a family that meets all her needs. GuiNiu was rescued by our truly amazing Chinese rescue friends & just as always we are beyond grateful to the Chinese rescue who we are so extremely grateful for what they do day in & day out for these babies, we cannot thank them enough. GuiNiu was bought back to the USA where she is now a US citizen & is so happy to be here & can’t wait to find her new loving devoted forever home. Considering how deathly ill GuiNiu was in China & on deaths door it’s a miracle she survived along with her friends. To the adventurous big personality, oh so fun & bounds of bouncy energy to the girl she is now. Look out world here comes the ready to go on a hike, run, play beautiful spirited GuiNiu. GuiNiu is looking for a forever home who will walk her, run with her & have lots of adventures. It’s unbelievable to think she survived pneumonia & being in hell at a meat market for humane consumption to who this girl is now, a healthy loving girl who just wants you to give her lots of love, cuddles & affection. She is nothing but so very sweet & affectionate. She has enjoyed eating since she has been here in the US, but let’s face it, being fed the way we are feeding her is all new to her & just being fed all the time is new to her. She has put on weight instantly since being in the rescue. GuiNiu is learning to walk on a harness & leash & done so well with us so far but would still need continued work, as she is so excited when going on her walks, she will pull & is quite strong but is really good. She also does not care about dogs or react to them when at the park. GuiNiu adores being pampered & doesn’t want you to stop when brushing her, cleaning her eyes, grooming her, she loves it all. She also does extremely well being touched in general. GuiNiu is so good with being bathed. We have had her with many breeds of dogs & she has done well with different size dogs & adores dogs so we are only looking for a home for her with another dog in the home she can play with. GuiNiu also did so well with our vets when she went & had her dental. Having toys & a warm bed is all new to GuiNiu & we have been excited to change her world with the introduction of toys & lots of love & affection & a loving environment. This little stunning lady has energy galore, bounds of fun loving energy. She is making up for lost time & who could blame her. She is good with other dogs & we have her with other dogs, in her new forever home there must be a young dog or young dogs for her to play with. GuiNiu has learnt to ride in the car & does well in the car but we always have her with other dogs when in the car. She is such an amazing soul, she will try to stick her head out of the window if you are on the outside as if to say, “why am I not out there with you, let me out, I want to be with you”. She just sits back & enjoys the journey. With GuiNiu we are only looking for a crate free home for this lovely little lady only. We are also looking for a forever home for GuiNiu where someone is home during the day or she can go with her people wherever possibly she can go with them. GuiNiu is looking for a forever home who will cherish her & love her as she should be loved & be very patient with her & understanding. GuiNiu has been around many breeds of dogs all shapes & sizes & she is currently with other dogs & enjoys their company so we are looking for a home where she can be with another dog or other dogs in the home in the home as she loves playing with dogs. We currently have her with other dogs. A fully fenced backyard is mandatory for GuiNiu’s new forever home. GuiNiu is now roughly 40 lbs & has put on quite a bit of weight since coming to the US with us, she is 4 years old & perhaps a standard poodle. She is spayed & female, she had a dental/scale & polish, she is microchipped, up to date on her shots, had her shots including DHLPP, Bordatella, CIV, rabies & dewormed. We have spent far more on GuiNiu with bringing her to the US with her travel airfare costs alone bringing her through cargo was over $3000, without anything else then on top of that paying for her medical care & boarding fees, including a dental/ scale & polish, spay, shots, microchip, etc & then bringing her to WA with her transport fees than her adoption fee comes close to covering.

The most beautiful, loving soul you will ever have the pleasure of meeting & our love who deserves the most amazing forever home. The hell BeiBei witnessed & heard when he was at the slaughterhouse is soul destroying to think about what he endured. How BeiBei ended up in a slaughterhouse for human consumption & yes you did read that correctly, we will never know? What we do know is, he was pulled out of there by our outstanding Chinese rescuer just in time. It’s absolutely soul destroying to think about the horrific situation he ended up in. Working with one of our truly devoted, dedicated & absolutely outstanding Chinese rescuers she rescued BeiBei & many others for us.

BeiBei was rescued by our truly amazing Chinese rescue friends & just as always we are beyond grateful to the Chinese rescue who we are so extremely thankful for what they do day in & day out for these babies, we cannot thank them enough. BeiBei was bought back to the USA where he is now a US citizen & is so happy to be here & can’t wait to find his new loving devoted forever home. BeiBei such a softe gentle soul & so forgiving of our standards. This boy will love you & trust you once he knows you. He has truly been to hell & back. It appears in China a dog ripped off half of one of his ears & of course it was never treated & just healed naturally. He now knows no difference, it’s on ascetics. Poor him. He is a joy for us in this rescue & we love him dearly. This beautiful boy has seen & lived an absolute horror show. His past is so vile & now he his joy & zest for life pours into everything he does. He is such a sweetheart, who just wants you to love him & he is so easy to love, that’s BeiBei. He is slow to warm up to some people & others he adores immediately. It’s beyond brutal to think what came so close to happening to him as he is the sweetest, lad & loves to be held & cuddled & those eyes look straight into your soul. He has energy though when he sees his friend HeiDou but can have energy so in his new home he would need to be played with or taken on walks & needs another dog friend in the home to play with. With us though he will also lay around. He will stand on his hind legs & hug you to show you how much he loves you. He loves both men & women but we would say women more & he gets attached pretty quickly to you. He has enjoyed eating since he has been here in the US with all the new tasty food he gets but let’s face it, being fed the way we are feeding him is all new to him & just being fed all the time is new to him. He also enjoys a good treat & that would be many treats. When BeiBei arrived he was so skinny, it was extremely sad how very thin this boy was. He has put on weight instantly since being in the rescue. He knows now what love & happiness is. It’s as if when he looks at you he is constantly saying, thank you for loving me. He still needs to put on continued weight though in his new forever home. BeiBei is still being taught to walk on his harness & leash considering we believe we are the first people to teach him he does really well but would need continued work. BeiBei is a rescue & will need patience, time & understanding. BeiBei adores being pampered & doesn’t want you to stop when brushing him, cleaning his eyes, grooming him, he loves it all. He also does extremely well being touched in general & adores receiving love & cuddled. BeiBei is wonderful when it comes to being groomed & given a bath. We don’t believe he had hardly had many baths before us. With BeiBei we had him with many breeds of dogs & he has done well with different size dogs & loves to play, play play with other dogs & loves humans company to. Having toys & a warm bed is all new to BeiBei & we have been excited to change his world with the introduction of toys & lots of love & affection & a loving environment. He is making up for lost time & who could blame him. In his new forever be prepared as he may want to sleep in bed with you. BeiBei has learnt to ride in the car & does well in the car & enjoys a good car ride. He is such a sweet soul. He just sits back & enjoys the journey. With BeiBei we are only looking for a crate free home for this lovely little lad only because of hid horrible past. We are also looking for a forever home for BeiBei where someone is home during the day or he can go with his people wherever possibly he can go with them. BeiBei is looking for a forever home who will cherish him & love him as he should be loved & be very patient with him & understanding. BeiBei has been around many breeds of dogs all shapes & sizes & he is currently with other dogs & enjoys their company so we are looking for a home where he can be with another dog or dogs as he adores them. We currently have him with other dogs so in his new home it’s mandatory to have another dog for him. A fully fenced backyard is mandatory for BeiBei’s new forever home. BeiBei is now roughly 40 lbs & has put on a extraordinary amount of weight since coming to the US with us, but would still need continued weight put on in his new forever home.

He is heart worm negative, he is microchipped, up to date on his shots, had his shots including DHLPP, Bordatella, CIV, rabies & dewormed.

BeiBei has not been around cats since being in the rescue but it’s always up to the new family to be responsible with their animals. We have not had him around small children so we do not recommend children nor cats, but it’s always up to the family to be responsible with their children & cats. We were not there when BeiBei was conceived so we do not know who her parents were & it’s always up to the new potential family to look at the pictures & decide what they think his breed is.

He spent his life used as a breeding machine for a breeder to live off him. She ended up lending him out to another breeder who beat him to breed for 2 years & left him outside in a cage. We believe some form of stick was used as he gets worried when he sees a broom or mop & this was experienced in his first foster home. The original breeder ended up getting him back & continued to breed him & could no longer care for him or the other standard poodles she had & was keeping 3 to a crate & was not feeding them. We were asked could we help John & 6 other standard poodle puppies & we have to say that each of these dogs are the most lovely dogs you would ever meet. John is the biggest sweetheart. It’s so damn sad to think about his previous life & the lack of care. John who is now looking for his very own forever home & who will never give up on him & love him just as we do. John is a very soft gentle soul & at the same time so full of life love. He likes to lay with you & can't be happier being petted & touched. He gets very attached to his people & they become his everything. He does not like to be left alone & in both foster homes he would & does howl if left alone. Let’s face it, both foster homes loved him deeply & he now gets to experience what love, devotion & and safe environment is. He is so content to rest his head on you & nap. He just started enjoying toys for the very first time his foster mum said so this is so wonderful for us & for him to enjoy himself. He loves everyone he meets & enjoys being cuddled to & given love. He enjoys sleeping on the bed with you or a pile of blankets with his foster siblings. He currently sleeps with his foster family & he did in his other foster home too. This boy loves a good couch & so enjoys sitting on a chair & looking out the window. He ate a clean diet in his first foster home with raw proteins, vegetables, fruits, cooked grains & supplements. He did wonderful on this diet. In his current loving foster home he is on kibble. John’s new forever home must have a fully fenced secured backyard for his safety. He enjoys going out into the backyard & sunning himself only if you are out there with him. He adores both his foster mums & dads in both of his foster homes. John was so matted the skin that we did not know where his tail started & ended because the matting was absolutely horrendous & severe. John has been great with his baths because he started having them with us the moment he was rescued so he is used to them. He is used to being dried with a hairdryer. He will just let you dry him. He is wonderful with being groomed. His foster mum cleans his ears out regularly & he does really well having his ear cleaned considering we don’t know if they were ever previously done. He has put on weight since being in the rescue. John rides beautifully in the car & enjoys a good journey & will sit next to you with his dog’s friends. He gets very excited when he thinks he is going to go on a walk. He walks well on his lead now & did good considering he had never been taught. We are looking for a forever home for John where someone is home during the day or he can go with his people wherever possibly he can go with them. He will absolutely not do well being left alone so that will not work. We are also looking for a crate free home for the little lad only. He was left in a cage in the shelter until we rescued him. John is looking for a forever home who will cherish him & love him as he should be loved & be patient with him. John has been around many breeds of dogs all shapes & sizes & was fostered with other dogs in his foster home & does well with them & enjoys their company. We think some dogs would annoy him & be too much for him. In his current foster home he is with a cat only. But could be the only dog in the home if he was going to get all the attention. John is roughly 7 years old 42 lbs & is a standard poodle & what he is mixed with we are not sure at all. He had a dental scale & polish & had 10 teeth removed including a fractured canine. He had bloodwork done & that came back good. He was treated with antibiotics & pain meds for his neuter & dental. He previously had an enlarged prostate which was causing him horrible pain but once neutered that helped the situation. He had 2 forms of yeast in his ears that were cleaned out & treated for but will be retreated again as his ears were so full of fur. He is male, neutered, microchipped, up to date on his shots, including DHLPP, Bordatella, rabies & being dewormed. John has been around cats since being in the rescue & the cat is blind in his foster home & has been indifferent with the cat. But it’s always up to the new family to be responsible with their animals together. We have not had him around small children. But we do not recommend small children nor cats & it’s always up to the family to be responsible with their children. We were not there when John was conceived so we do not know who his parents were & it’s always up to the new potential family to look at the pictures & decide what they think his breed is. As with all of our rescues & John’s friends he will need work on potty training & training, so this should be something the new family would be willing to work on & commit to. Please do not submit an application if you are not willing to commit to one of our rescues care for their whole life & that includes if they need training. Please do not email us asking is John potty trained or available, nor do we ship dogs anywhere as we will not respond. We would never say anyone of our rescues are potty trained. Our rescues need homes where the people are understanding of their past & what they have been through & what they will need in their daily lives & not willing to give up on them & if they do need training in their new home will in fact take them to training & not just say they will when applying. John has been through many traumas in his short time on this earth so when applying this needs to be kept in mind & for his care. Please only submit an application if you are truly interested in adopting John & going through our process and have read his listing fully to the end & are wanting to adopt. If you are not responsive to our calls, emails or your references do not respond we will move on & remove your application from our system. You must be willing to go through our screening process which includes your references being checked, a phone interview & a virtual home visit due to covid & followed by a meet and greet & if it’s a good fit, up to our discretion. We will only be accepting applications for John who understands his needs & that meet all the requirements for this spirited little lad. Once we find the right home for each little soul we work fast, within days so the dogs can go to their forever homes in quite a timely manner. We do not hold onto dogs for people as our goal is to save lives & please do not submit an application if you are not ready to adopt. John has an adoption fee of $995 & is ready for his truly loving forever home & compassion & understanding of what he has been through.
